I got used to using one for cooking/baking while living in Germany, recipes are more mass-based than volume-based. which, makes more sense.
I continue to believe that is the best way to do it, particularly with baking, which is all about chemical reactions.
Scales are also very handy for portion control, for those who are into that sort of thing.
I got used to having one, now that i'm back in the states and newly in my own apartment, it's on my list of things to get soon.
